Trouser Press wrote that "Batch upholds the group’s stylistic consistency: riffs, tunes and punchy rhythms collide in an enjoyable blend of big rock, vampy thrashfunk and nicely detailed pop that hardly belongs on a punk-rooted indie label."[2] The Los Angeles Times wrote that "there is no denying the clean, unrelenting crunch that guitarist Mark Arnold, bassist Bob Thomson and drummer Danny Marcroft achieve as they find hard-rocking middle ground between Led Zeppelin and Husker Du."[8]
